"""The fifth
season starts with an enjoyable
episode with a mostly-satisfying
conclusion, though the writers played a little fast with the
clues tonight.Lou, a thirty seven year old female, is admitted to
House's service for what at first appear to be psychiatric
symptoms. She works as the assistant to a high profile feminist
activist and travels around the world at her boss’s
side. In the middle of a
meeting, Lou suddenly began to hallucinate ants crawling all over her body. Other admitting
symptoms convinced the team that her problem was not
psychiatric; she was also found to have abdominal
pain, anemia, bradycardia (an abnormally slow
heart rate), and some
memory loss. Various
diagnoses were suggested: an
infection she obtained while traveling (but she didn’t have a fever), amphetamine abuse (
drug screen was negative), vitamin B12 deficiency, and an
insulinoma (an insulin secreting tumor).
House felt that the labs were most consistent with B12 deficiency and ordered a B12
injection for Lou.
While Thirteen was administering the
shot, Lou complained of fecal
incontinence, but Thirteen discovered that she had instead passed a large
amount of blood. Upper and lower
endoscopies were normal and no source of bleeding could be found. Her
pregnancy test came back positive, but when Kuttner performed a uterine ultrasound, he was unable to find a fetus. The team now considered the
diagnoses of choriocarcinoma (a tumor that secretes βHCG, the “
pregnancy hormone”), immunoglobulin A deficiency, and βHCG injections (injections of the “
pregnancy hormone” would give a false positive pregnancy test).
House disagrees with all three possibilities and reveals that the patient has an ectopic
pregnancy (a pregnancy outside of the uterus). It has implanted in the intestine, and this is causing her bleeding and other
symptoms. The fetus cannot survive where it is, and is a threat to Lou’s life, so Chase has to surgically terminate the
pregnancy."""
